Just before you ask, I'm not new.
This patch on Tuesday, where is the Alpine assault map? I entered about twenty games but still can't find it. Please help! Do I need to have a certain amount of GXP? I pilot a Stalker, Would this affect the match making?
Thanks in advance,

No magic reasons or tips here.

Just keep on trying. The Alpine map is not a high percentage drop map for whatever reason and it's really random when you get it. I went through 15 drops before I got into Alpine for the first time.

Dude, I played 25 games in a row before I got Alpine for the first time. And 20 of these games were fuсking River City (15 river city nights and 5 regular river cities), I ******* HATE river city.

Yeah, it seems really sparingly used. Probably due to the fact that it's too large for 8v8 really.

I've not run out of time on it yet.. always full team wipes for the win (well, one conquest cap win, with time on the game clock).

I think it's just too big for the server to run too many of it. They might need to upgrade their server farm soon..

It's just all random. Tuesday night I saw it once, Wednesday night I saw it like eight times.

I saw it ~4 out of 12 times last night. All hail the mighty RNG!

I've played on it 2 or 3 times, but I haven't been playing much since tuesday, since I did a complete reinstall of windows yesterday due to some... issues it's been giving me.

Seems fun, though.

I get it about every 5-7 matches.

Really should be the FRNG. I'll let you figure out what the new letter stands for...

I've seen Alpine exactly once in 30ish games over two nights. Half of my games have been on RC day and a quarter on Caustic, with Forest, Frozen and Frozen Night sprinkled in occasionally just for S&Gs. I haven't seen River Night or Forest Snow at all.

Less than 10 in 20+ hrs play. Yes 20. Grinding for Master heavy and Alpine is very hard to come by. Love it though. For itself and will cause balanced loads. Nerfs ECM too a bit. Large is the new normal isn't it?

In game a pilot said they were introducing on a low rotation for bug watch. IDK.

I am jelly. Good Day Sir! Good day!

I get River City day/night on most my drops. Frozen City day/night for the rest ans a spattering of Forest Colony and Caustic Valley if I'm lucky. I believe I've been on Alpine 4-5 times since it went live... 2 of which were right after the patch (twice in a row)
